It held that Cr.P.C. procedural requirements do not displace the Act's authorised investigative scheme, and the offence cannot be treated as non-cognizable or bailable merely because cognizance is taken on complaint before the Special Court. The Court also found no basis to quash the ECIR or complaint on Articles 14 and 21 grounds, and left issues on the statement under section 50 to the trial court.
